When you have completed the interview with a potential family, you will want to remember some important things. First, if you have told the parent who interviewed you that you would send them copies of important documents, like your school history or degree information, then you should be sure to do so. Following through with what you promised is important and shows you are responsible.

You should also think about writing an email, if you know the email address, or a note via snail mail, to thank the family for taking the time to interview you. In this letter you can reiterate your interest in the position and how much you enjoyed talking to them and again, feel free to state why you think you would be a good fit for the family. Send a letter such as this as soon as possible after finishing the interview.

Be patient when waiting to hear from a family about the possibility of being hired for the nanny position. It may take awhile to hear back and it isn't unreasonable that after waiting over a week, to either call the family or to send an email just thanking them again and letting them know that you hope to hear from them soon.

Your actions after the interview is over and done with are important; don't forget to use proper etiquette to show parents just how interested you are in the position.
